Faltering Zvezda (10-18) will look to get back on track against a Maccabi (15-13) team aiming for a third straight win.
Game Facts: Zvezda vs. Maccabi
Zvezda has lost four in a row to drop away from playoff contention, and knows it can't afford many more missed chances. Maccabi backcourt dynamo Wade Baldwin will take some stopping after scoring at least 16 points in nine consecutive games. The Serbian team could look to slow the pace by controlling the game through its frontcourt, where Luka Mitrovic had a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds in last week's loss at Monaco. Earlier this season, currently injured Milos Teodosic stunned Maccabi with 27 points and 14 assists to power a 92-98 road win, and Zvezda needs similar inspiration this time around.
